Talent is talent, and I don’t care much for the inmates running the prison. Happiness is winning, not just being ready to win. I have worked for, and hired and assigned, some shaggy bastards in my life and can’t remember even one of them failing the test of performance to get their job done.

Didn’t see that.

It will get its own item.

i disagreed with most of what he said, but like BBTiA said, it’s going to be one less person reporting on the Rangers, which isn’t a good thing – like him or not.

This is the team that suspended Jose Guillen in the middle of a pennant race.

I can’t imagine they’d want anything to do with him.

I want to see the Rangers win. I could care less how he fits in with the team or if he’s a leader like Byrd.

I want production. Like the offensive production he had in ’08 for this team.

Milton performed better here because he was under Ron’s charge. I mean, Ron is supposed to be this Great Human Communicator and Leader of Men… so maybe he really did make the difference in keeping Bradley on a leash in 2008.

Or perhaps that’s total horseshit, we just did catch lighting in a bottle in 2008 and Ron is as useless as I think he is, but either way Bradley is the type of talent I’d feel comfortable trying to catch lighting with again. He’s not Sosa or Jones, he’s actually good at baseball – and we need more hitters that are good at baseball, bottom line.

And another point, so I won’t have to make a separate comment: if our clubhouse really can’t handle taking Milton back to improve the team, we need to get a new clubhouse that isn’t filled with oversensitive pansies.

he still leads the Rangers in OBP. Compared to some of the other crap we have seen here, that ain’t all bad.
